About Casualty
This mod doesn't really do anything directly useful; it was just an itch I wanted scratched.
A few gamers may remember Bungie's amazing "Myth: The Fallen Lords" back in the mid-90s, which set the bar for small unit fantasy tactical combat (and a wonderful backstory/voiceover "feel" which imho has yet to be matched in any game since).
Anyway, one of its well-done (albeit depressing) features was that whenever one of your units died, rather than either glossing over it or dwelling on it, a neutral voiceover voice would just say "Casualty." And in a big battle where you were sweating bullets and your troops were dying in large numbers, having this horribly neutral voice chanting "Casualty. Casualties. Casualty." was both maddening and yet energizing. It added something.
Anyway, for no good reason I decided I wanted that in WoW, so I coded up this little mod. It's horribly incomplete (for one thing, it triggers when pets die, which I should fix, and may trigger on other things) but it did what I wanted, so I thought I'd share it. If I have time and anyone in the universe wants it to do more, I may add more flexible announcements, integration with SCT so you get a message zipping up the screen with the name of who died, etc. But right now, with its basic "casualty" message, it does what I wanted.
Note: What you have for a sound sample is me and a microphone, since the actual sound samples from Myth are not free for public distribution, so feel free to go through the trouble of replacing them if you wish.

Still working for me. Wonderful addon!
Any known issue about it?
I had been using Casualty for quite some time, and you and I actually had some light conversation a while back on ui.worldofwar.net (I'm the guy that ripped the sounds out of Myth). At any rate, I want to thank you for your continued effort with this mod. Always has been and always will be one of my favorites.
No, you're right, it was broken. Casualty monitored the chat log for combat information and while I was away from WoW they changed the way combat logging worked (for the better). Have fixed this and will try to merge with what Durcyn was doing and upload before too much longer.
If you want to use r77631.4 (the 9/20/2008) version without enabling out-of-date addons, you can do the old trick of changing the UI string in the Casualty.toc file to "30000" and it loads (for me) just fine.

saying "oh dear" to actually saying "No Survivors"?
(chuckle)--actually, sure; I'll just re-include it in the distribution (I actually changed it FROM "no survivors" as part of a joke to my regular raiders who use this, because I tend to say that when things start going really badly) and forgot it would be distributed that way. May take a couple days; I'm recovering from vacation and catching up on everything I've been lazy about.
